I am 33 years old and proud of it! I am married and a mother to my sweet son and daughter. Life hasn't always been an "easy" road (can we ever really put the word "easy" in there? Which brings me to why I started doing what I do.
I had a wonderful childhood, with a family that would (and has) go to the edge of heaven and hell with you. I went through your normal teen years with your normal "teen" issues with depression, frustration, heartache, etc but when I reached my late teens/early adulthood, those things accelerated. I started down a path of heavy self destructive behavior that resulted in a LOT of depression, frustration, heartache- more than I could ever imagine one heart and soul could experience.
I became a widow at 22 years old and heading into year 3 of __ of heavy substance abuse. I struggled to keep my head above water. I swore I would never marry again. My plan was to just keep breathing until I didn't anymore.
I thank God that that only lasted 4 years until an angel came back into my life.
In 2011, my husband (and childhood friend and sweetheart) came back into my life and literally saved me. I wanted to improve, I wanted to live, I wanted to make a difference.
In 2013 I started doing some energy work with a friend of mine to clear some very heavy burdens and weight in my past- to start fresh. Although I had grown up in a household that practiced and believed in holistic approaches and energy work, I never thought I wanted to be the practitioner but I had felt a calling, a pull to *something*- I just didn't know what...I was quickly introduced to Reiki. I had one session and knew that my prayers had been answered. I immediately started enrollment in Reiki.
At the time, I also had been trying to get pregnant. I had stopped all medical treatment, medications and the insanity and started foot zoning with a practitioner here locally, taking supplements and doing yoga. (Which resulted in getting pregnant, naturally very soon after)
In 2014 I became a Certified Foot Restoration Therapist and in 2016 became a Reiki Master.
This wonderful path has become absolutely life changing. I have been given a beautiful little boy and sweet little girl by a loving Heavenly Father and a holistic approach to fertility. I get to meet people every day that I normally probably would not have and they teach me so much! I love waking up in the morning (even if I'm up all night with babies!). I now look at challenges in my life differently, whether that be physical, emotional or spiritual challenges.
Do I still have bad days and days I struggle? ABSOLUTLEY. But now they are managable. My testimony of the Savior, his love and the Atonement has grown and have become my lifelines.
I now recognize my divine self easier and living that way (changing thought patterns, my reaction to things, how I see others and challenges in life) is now a sort of "second nature". My hope for you, is to get to a point (which you will), that you will enjoy you life, free from *debilitations* which may have stopped you before.
Namaste
